Critique the Box

[acreature 10+ year member]

Reworked the design a bit so I wouldn't have to load the box with scrap to get it down to 1 cu ft. Will be finished tomorrow.

Appreciate the critiques.

Do nt go by general rules of port area, because they do not take into consideration power requirements or port velocity (indirect parameter). There are two possible errors with lowering port area. 1. Increased potential of port noise

2. Decreased efficiency and coupling capabilities

So, if you want to challenge yourself with those two possible factors of decreasing port area, make sure you know what you are dealing with as far as power. A balance between the two needs to be met to get the most out of the design if you do not plan to increase dimensional volume.

In this scenario, the ideal layout is great that you have. Just have to make sure it works in all aspects of the design.

I can tell visually right now, that it was correct to say the port may be quite long. BUT this can also increase the low output NOT FROM TUNING, but from correct phasing. SO, in reality, if you want more out of a design, (listen up all), do not give port area a limitation, and do not give port length a limitation UNLESS you are limited physically in dimensions and space. Then those factors need more controlled attention.

I'm glad some one said that, I hate that stupid "rule."

What made you go with a slot port over a round port?

Creature of habit. I like the looks of a slot over a round. I will try the aero port next, though.

Fair enough. A single 3in aero port would have been sufficient and in 1 cube it would have only needed to be 16.25inches end to end to achieve 33hz tuning.

I love round ports due to their efficiency but depending on the design, they can be unfeasible.

Lookin great man!

Question... with the aero port, I can mount that on the outside, correct? With it being 16+ inches in length... could that be placed through (flush) the rear deck, or would that be a waste with the sub in the trunk?

Yes you can mount them on the outside of the box, here's an example:

If you can fold your back seats down, thats the best way to get bass from your trunk into the cabin, but it is possible to have your port fire up through the rear deck

Yes Yes Yes. Best way to couple the box with the cabin by far.

It's getting there

Anyone who has had a box wrapped in Vinyl; what was the cost?

This box is approx 12x18x15

In the trunk
